What Information We Collect and How It Is Used

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on the Community website.

We collect three kinds of information:

1. The opinions of members about issues of interest to us or our clients. Opinions are always reported in aggregate only- 52% of members thought
this-or-that, or 77% of males were aware of something-or-other. This information will be shared with our clients without identifying the identity of any
member.

2. Background information about members, and their households. During the process of registering at the site eligible members are asked a number of
questions about themselves and their households. This information is used as background information so that we can target surveys and other Community
activities we conduct and to better interpret results. Background information is reported in aggregate only - for instance, we might report that, 28% of
participants are from the East Coast.

3. When an eligible member (teen or young adult ages 13-34) registers at the Community we collect limited personally identifiable information in order to communicate by
mail, email or telephone/mobile with that member, send checks, gift certificates and other rewards.

The types of personal information that we collect include:

Member's Name

Member’s Address

Member’s Email addresses

Member’s Phone/Mobile number

Demographics such as gender, age, household composition/profile, etc.

We will never share the personally identifiable information provided to us without first obtaining explicit permission from the member to do so, and giving
them an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses except Touchstone Research, Inc. may share information with a fulfillment
(mailing) house in order to send gifts or prizes to members, or to vendors or subcontractors engaged in data management/processing or working on studies on
behalf of or in collaboration with Touchstone Research, Inc.. Any fulfillment house, subcontractor or other vendor Touchstone Research, Inc. works with on
Community studies or activities will agree to be bound by equivalent privacy rules and restrictions contained in this policy. In the event of a sale of all
or part of our business, we may share personally identifiable information with the buyer. We may also share information if we believe we are legally
obligated to do so, to protect ourselves or our members, or to otherwise assist government or law enforcement. We may also share information with our
clients, as described in this policy, or as otherwise described to you (for example if you are selected to participate in a qualitative study such as a
focus group). TSR may also disclose your personal information to third parties where it has your express permission to do so, or where it can reasonably be
inferred from the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to the third parties. We may also disclose account information in special cases when we
have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our
Terms and Conditions or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Touchstone Research, Inc.’s rights or
property, other Community users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose or access account information when we believe in
good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service, and improve our products and
services.

We may also use information you submit or that we maintain about you or other household members to tailor your and their experience at our sites. We retain
personally identifiable information for as long as necessary for our legitimate business purposes, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We engage agents and service providers/third parties who have access to data to process such data on our behalf and to PI for quality control purposes to validate and ensure panelist authenticity and to protect against fraud and for our purposes and to perform functions on our behalf under confidentiality agreements.
